New release time, version 20200322 is available 
This one comes with a bunch of small but useful improvements:
- upgrade phosh to latest version
- ambient light and proximity sensor now works and is used by phosh to set the display's brightness and disable touch/display when relevant
- hacked geary's account dialog in order to make it usable on the PP
- headset microphone is now supported
- added a "headset" button to Calls in order to switch between headset and earpiece+internal mic
There is a small issue with the Speaker/Headset buttons in Calls: the state of the audio routing is normally the same used for the previous call, but this isn't reflected in the UI
For example, if you make a call using the headset, the next one will use the headset too, but the "Headset" button will show as if it was disabled. In order to revert to internal earpiece+mic, you'll have to press it twice (force headset routing then revert to internal routing).
Also, the Geary account dialog might take a few seconds to react when selecting the mail provider, please be patient and don't frenetically select your provider again and again
In order to check whether it's a hardware issue with your phone's mic, flash the latest image to an SD card and boot it, then plug a headset in, and make a call. Touch the "Headset" button, and try talking into the headset's mic; if it works this way, then your phone's internal mic is probably dead, sorry...
Contributing with no technical skills is a bit difficult for now as a lot still needs to happen under the hood, but you can help by keeping the wiki section up-to-date or improving it, answering to others on this forum, and so on...
Regarding donations: I never considered that aspect for this project, but for those really wanting to donate, I have an old Liberapay account I never really used so far...
Thank you all for your support, bug reports and kind words, every one of those is highly appreciated

However (press F6 again - select 0- Default) on the main menu the capture device remains unmuted. However, unmuting the mics does not help make sound get recorded.Well, I think I understand your issue, and really, when saying "out of the box", I mean "out of the box": you shouldn't need to fiddle with alsamixer or other more or less hidden settings, all the necessary configuration is already built-in.

Last thing it put out was: e2scrub_all.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it.Hmmm, I had a similar issue, could you share the full apt log so I can double-check with mine?
